MIKOLAJ KRZEWINSKI AND MICHAEL WOJ'CIK, OF SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, AS-SIG-NORS OF ONE-THIRD.TO JOHN DONANOWSKI, OF SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALI-FORNIA.

COMBINATION BED, SOFA, AND SWING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. May 31, 1910. Serial No. 564,253.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, MIKoLAJ Knza wINsKI and MICHAEL VVoJoIK, citizensof the United States, residing at Sacramento, in the county ofSacramento, State of California, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Combination Beds, Sofas, and Swings; and we do declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to the characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part ofthis application. This invention relates to improvements in householdparaphernalia and particularly to a swing which can be readilyconvertible into a bed or sofa or vice versa, the object of theinvention being to produce a combination furniture which will give thepleasure of the swing and the usefulness of a bed or sofa all in onepiece of furniture, the same being designed for house or garden use.

A further obj ectof the invention is to produce a simple and inexpensivedevice and yet one which will be exceedingly efi'ective for the purposesfor which it is designed.

These objects, we accomplish by means of such structure and relativearrangement of parts as will fully appear by a perusal of the followingspecification and claims.

In the drawings similar characters of reference indicate correspondingparts in the several views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device showing it used as a bed.Fig. 2 is a similar view showing it used as a swing. Fig. 3 is afragmentary sectional view showing the swing runway. Fig. 4: is a viewof the front end of the device. Fig. 5 is a similar view with a paneledcovering removed. Fig. 6 is an inside elevation of such covering. Fig. 7is an inside View of one end of the device. Fig. 8 is a sectional viewtaken on a line m-w of Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is an outside view of the foot ofthe bed. Fig. 10 is a cross sectional View of the bed and swing frame.Fig. 11 is an inside'view of the end of the device not shown in Fig. 7Fig. 12 is a fragmentary view showing the end of a retaining spring.Fig. 13 is a similar view showing the side of said retaining lspring.Fig. 14 is a fragmentary view showthem to be removed by reason ofremovable pins 5 011 the member 1 fitting into eyelets 6 on the member2.

15 represents two end members having outside projecting square shoulders7 which fit into swinging arms 11 and thence having pins 7 projectingthrough holes 8 in cover plates 10 into a guide 8 movable in verticalslots 9 in the members 2, the plates 10 at all times covering the slots9 and guides 8 from view. From the guides 8 cables 21 run over pulleys22 to weights 23 movable between the members 2 and 4: while 13 arelevers pivoted to the swinging arms 11 as at 12 and fulcrumed to themembers 2 as at 1 1 such levers 13 having offset ends 13 adapted toengage hooks 13 on the members 1, which hold them in normal steadyposition. Secured bet-ween the members 15 is a frame 17 carrying on oneside one of the well known and ordinary types of roller swings 17 and onits other side a bed and paraphernalia 30 having springs 39, a footboard 16 and a folding head board 18.

\Vhen it is desired to use the device as a swing the head board 18 isfolded down as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1 and snaps under aretaining spring 17 c on the stationary base of the foot board 17 whichholds it normally closed. Then the levers 13 are operated one at a timeone of such levers having a counter balancing weight 27 in a casing 27having a slot 28 permittingthe connection of the weight 27 a to thelever 13 and also permitting its vertical movement. This counterbalancing weight operates one lever after it is released from the catch13".

Then the other lever 13 is operated by hand,

this operation just described coupled with the action of the weights 23causing the guides 8 to move upward in the slots 9 thus carrying themembers 15 and the bed and swings which they carry to be lifted clear ofthe members 1 and then said members 15 are swung on the pins 7 to turnthe bed Patented Oct. 24, 1911.

under and the swings up and then the levers 13 are operated to againlower the members 15 until the ends 16 and 17 rest on the members lwhich supports the whole device and permits the swing 17 to be used inthe usual manner. Vice versa when the bed is to be used the backs 20 ofthe chairs or seats 19 of the swing 17 are turned down and held by acatch 20 engaging a lug 20 and then the turning operation above setforth is repeated to turn the bed up and the swing down, the whole thenresting on the arms of the seats 19.

Buckles 32 and straps 33 may be used to hold the bedding 30 in placewhen the bed is turned under. Curtains or flaps 31 cover the parts whichare not in use as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 9. A brace wire or member 26may connect the two end members 2 if desired.

17 represents blocks to hold the head boards 18 in proper verticalposition when open.

From the foregoing description it will readily appear that we haveproduced such a device as substantially fulfils the objects of theinvention as set forth herein.

While this specification sets forth in detail the present and preferredconstruction of the device still in practice such deviations from suchdetail may be resorted to as do not form a departure from the spirit ofthe invention.

Having thus described our invention what we claim as new and useful anddesire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A device of the character described comprising end boards havingmovable slots, guides movable in said slots, swinging arms connectedwith said guides, a horizontal frame turnably mounted in said swingingarms and levers fulcrumed to said end boards and said swinging arms asdescribed.

2. A device of the character described comprising end boards havingvertical slots, guides movable in said slots swinging arms connectedwith said guides, horizontal frames turnably mounted in said swingingarms, levers fulcrumed to said end boards and said swinging arms andpulling weights connected with said guides as described.

3. A device of the character described comprising end boards providedwith vertical slots, guides movable in said slots, a horizontal frameturnably mounted in said guides, levers fulcrumed to said end boards andadapted to be connected with said guides and counterbalancing weights onthe ends of said levers as described.

In testimony whereof we aifix our signatures in presence of twoWitnesses.
